Thoughts and Prayers

it only takes a very few secondsmaybe half a minute or sofor scores of people to be mowed downin America don’tcha knowthe only nation on earth where mass murder is somehow just accepted as a natural factevery month or so there’s some new shooterwho wants to get in on the act

and then it’s time for thoughts andprayerstime for thoughts andprayersjust a way for the boys of the NRAto say "who cares"thoughts andprayers

now of course every nation has its lunaticsits violent and mentally illbut if they can’t get their hands on high powered weaponsguess what?it ain’t so many they’ll be able to killbut it’s a bigger kind of mass insanitythat has a grip on the USA the bizarre idea that virtually anyonecan own these kindsa weapons and that that’s OK

so it’s always and then it’s time for thoughts andprayersendless thoughts andprayersjust a way for the boys of the NRAto say "who cares"thoughts andprayers

by now all these thoughts and prayersmust number in the billions, or you’d think they wouldand you might disagree, but as far as i can tellthey ain’t doing a whole lotta goodthoughts andprayers

ah but let’s not give up hoperemember we might still just make things changelet’s say to the ones who’d let this go on and on"this is our country, not a firing range"no matter what the NRA would have you believenor the politicians that they ownthe laws of the land can be rewritten, you knowthey’re not forever carved in stone

and we’ll be done with these thoughts andprayersdone with these thoughts andprayersjust a way for the boys of the NRAto say "who cares"thoughts andprayers
